HAML vs Unison: What are the differences?

HAML: HTML Abstraction Markup Language - A Markup Haiku. Haml is a markup language that’s used to cleanly and simply describe the HTML of any web document, without the use of inline code. Haml functions as a replacement for inline page templating systems such as PHP, ERB, and ASP. However, Haml avoids the need for explicitly coding HTML into the template, because it is actually an abstract description of the HTML, with some code to generate dynamic content; Unison: Modern, statically-typed purely functional programming language. It is an open source functional programming language based on a simple idea with big implications: code is content-addressed and immutable.

HAML and Unison can be categorized as "Languages" tools.

HAML and Unison are both open source tools. HAML with 3.44K GitHub stars and 545 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Unison with 2.53K GitHub stars and 110 GitHub forks.
